I feel like a lot of the people getting BG3 haven't played many video games that aren't CRPGs, so that's why the size is such a big shock (because otherwise someone being like "a game that is more than 50GB?!" in 2023 is very funny).

Amuro from Gundam is either half-Canadian or half-Mexican depending on the continuity.

it is a visual mess of a game. looks and runs like poo poo on an emulator and i can only imagine how trash it was on the consoles at launch. i assume there’s something fun there but i had to give up emulating it because it ran so bad

Tanking is always the best, the big reason why Rift basically ruined MMOs for me was that I could be a tank that was also the main healer, and most heal builds could really put out some damage too so we'd just race through instances with 4 dps

Think I'll just try AC4 instead, I really liked 4As xtreme speed and flight.
Last raven looks good too but doesn't have that style I don't think.

rift was the greatest hotbar MMO ever, the period around the first expansion was the zenith of the genre in terms of raid, class, and open world design. my best buddy and I led a guild through the first two years after launch, he played chloromancer and I played the more reactive cleric healer class. the fights with mage tanking and other gimmicks on top of the classes with damage-to-heal and vice versa executed so well were just incredible. shame it’s a pathetic shadow of itself and their attempt at doing RIFT classic was just a really halfassed instance of the original game using the current backbone so the early dungeons didn’t even work, literally every system was broken

What if there was an MMO, but if you die in the game you die in real life? And if you're good at the game (you will be, because you're a gamer), hot girls will gently caress you?

Fortnite secrets found in this last update:


The mysterious leaker who leaked the terminator collab from a developer build is saying a collab that involves "fighters" is coming. Unknown if that means more street fighter, new mortal kombat, or WWE. WWE was featured heavily in the last collab survey.

The mysterious leaker also claims a jujutsu kaisen collab is coming. I'm excited for that one.

The mysterious leaker is also claiming a music collab with someone named Rosalia.

People speculate the Seven are returning or some time travel stuff will happen. The seven are currently imprisoned by something though and have "changed" for the worse.

We are nearing the end of this season so I'm sure more leaks or story bits will come soon.

I just found one on top of the Zonaite forge island. I barely got up here myself. How did it get here.

Remnant 2 kicks rear end because instead of just grinding rng for weapon drops that you'll replace because you find a less cool weapon with better numbers, you solve puzzles and find secrets to find weapons that you keep using for as long as you want because all weapons can be upgraded to endgame levels so the only reason to replace one is that you find a cooler one.

Me, a Korok, discovered by the first living being I have seen for centuries or millennia, having been trapped on an island suspended kilometers up in the air since the fall of the Zonai civilization: "Yahaha! You found me!"

Then I give them a seed I grew in my body. That concludes our business, so I stand there silent and motionless until they leave

Jedi Survivor and FF16 are in the "great game, but don't occupy my brainspace like the goty contenders do" category.

I am significantly more willing to put up with jank than most people, and I thought the setting and art design were strong enough to put Atomic Heart that high. Also yes Amnesia is really good, it's in and out and doesn't waste your time and the gameplay works well.
